We’ve been doing a lot of work outside, the past week. So no time for an update.
We got the barn mucked out. What a job that was!! But it’s done, and the contents in the compost pile. I just might have to start selling my compost. Because I think I’m going to have a LOT. Then again, maybe I’ll use it all on my various gardens.
I got a lot of work done on the Bible garden. No new plantings, YET, they’re still waiting in the box. The ground had risen up around the rocks containing the garden. So I had to dig it all out to make the bottom of the rocks level with the ground again. That was tough, but I finally finished it yesterday. Some of the dirt I used to fill in various places in the yard that needed it, and the rest went in the compost pile.
We also got the house pressure washed. WOW We didn’t do it last year, and boy did it show! The shady parts of the house were REALLY bad! The tan vinyl siding was green! YUCK! I did some, Duane did a little, but Mel did at least half of it, plus the back porch. So that’s done, and I won’t wait 2 years to do it again! I think I’ll start doing it in the spring AND in the fall.
I pulled a doozy on Friday. I called in my refill for my blood pressure medicine, of which I had taken the last pill Thursday night. I had to go out to pick up Kenny and take him for a job interview, so I was going to pick it up when I went by the pharmacy. Which I do at LEAST twice, because I have to go by it to go anywhere, and again to get home. Well, guess what I forgot? Yep, you guessed it, my medicine. I remember Friday night at 5:30, the pharmacy closes at 5, and isn’t open on weekends. sigh I was SOOOOOO mad at myself! But God got me through the weekend without my meds, and I already went and picked them up this morning and took one. My BP was fine all weekend, I checked it a few times. My resting pulse rate was higher than it usually is though. See my BP has always been fine. Throughout all my pg’s, fine. In the drs office fine. One day, I was having chest pains, so D took me to the ER. I ended up having a stress test. Which I promptly flunked! See my BP only goes up upon physical exertion. No prob as long as I don’t do anything! lol Not all physical exertion, just working hard. So that’s why I have to take bp meds. You got more than you bargained for when you came here today! lol
While we’re still on the medical front. I neglected to share that I have poison ivy. Up, after having it last summer for the FIRST time in my LIFE. I promptly get it this spring. hmmmmmm Hope this isn’t what my summer is going to be like. I’ve had it for over a week now, and it’s well on it’s way to healing. Putting straight tea tree oil on it helps to dry it up. D wanted me to put lacquer thinner on it. That’s what he does when he gets it. NO THANK YOU! What do I look INSANE? I’m not putting that stuff on my skin! “It only hurts if the skin is broken” says D Yeah right! Not doing it!lol I was going to post a pic of my arm. But instead, I decided to post a link to the The Grody Poison Ivy Slide Show THANKFULLY, I don’t have it as bad as these people! Hope and pray I NEVER do!!
Today, I have lots of housework and schoolwork to do. When you work outside most of the time, the inside stuff starts to slide. Time to catch up!! Since the weather man LIED and it’s going to rain today when I was told it wasn’t!, we can’t do anything outside. Ok, time to get to work!! Have a good day, even if the weather man lied!
